Pretty cool - it has an earthy feel (like clouds / fog / mist) with the great deep sky stuff - very interesting.

I'm not overly fussed on those diffraction spikes, but the dusty bits are awesome.

Nice but the added diffraction spikes detract from the rest of the image IMO

Same for me. Spikes normally don't bother me and I think they look great in some images, but here they are just too much.
In all other respects it is an awesome image

You guys are crazy.
Diffraction spikes are the way of the future.
They give an aesthetic to the shot.

Looks like something you'd see airbrushed on the side of a Sandman panel van  Seriously though, pretty amazing image...
